Hull Digital November Meetup!
This location is shown only to members
Hello ! 
I'm very pleased to announce the November Hull Digital MeetUp!
Big thanks to the Intrahost / Intrasource guys and gals for hosting the event once again. Please can people not arrive until 6.30pm so we don't disturb their support operation, thanks! We will have the normal drinks and chat and start the presentations around 7.15pm.
-------------------------------------------------------
We have 2 great speakers lined up for you:
Helen Philpot
She is talking about 'Digital Inclusion'. The so called 'digital divide' presents existing providers with opportunities and challenges. She'll be explaining why we should address the issue and how providers can benefit from offering services to narrow the gap.
She'll also be explaining how non-profit business models may offer the media a life line long term and how partnership working can lead to increased productivity and creativity.
Louise Barrett and John Kitson will show you some of the latest hardware for discreet public WiFi.
Hotels, Bars and conference halls are increasingly looking for WiFi hardware to meet the demands of the ever growing culture of internet browsing anywhere but they don't want boring beige boxes ruining the modern decor!
Solwise will show you a range of WiFi access points cunningly disguised as smoke alarms and oil paintings as well as bringing along their latest discreet WiFi leaky feeder cable.
-----------------------------------------------------
Do come along with some business cards and friendly banter as we will be having a "speedy networking session" where we will try and get everyone meeting everyone else! 
Look forward to seeing you there,
Best wishes,
Jon

Jon MossEvent HostChief Web Evangelist, OrganizerBig thanks to everyone for coming along on a wet and windy November night! After a month break for HDLive, it was great to see everyone, and some new faces. Louise and John from Solwise gave a top talk on discrete networks, including some amazing Homeplug solutions and access points, and Helen Philpot set the scene of something important for the future - digital inclusion. We also raised £50 for Movemeber, which I have donated this morning to the Hull Digital Team. Last, and not least, thanks to the Intragroup / gocloud guys n' gals for their hospitality! -
Tim EvisonGood location, I would've like to learn a little more about Intrasource perhaps? Just a personal one but could the meetings start a little earlier?

Louise BarrettI was nervous about presenting at the meetup but the crowd were very nice, they asked sensible questions and seemed very interested in our products.

Richard MillsGreat meet. Interesting speakers, good mix of product news from Solwise, and the much broader subject of the digital divide from Helen Philpott. Good mix of people to network with, quite a few biz cards changed hands. Well done to Jon for arranging as usual.
